Rumoured Targets 3

[Nuke]

Yeah get rid of Marzhew or Young, smart.

I'd guess those people were talking about next year, what with Young going to the Roosters and all.

 

[Apey]

Very very lucky to get out of the Miller mess so lightly.

Maybe the Miller mess was necessary to unleash the Pong. Let's go with that.

Gags to the wing next year may be the play, with Pryce at centre.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Or that we should play him on the wing in Dom’s spot despite Miller never having played on the wing before. I’m impressed that Miller who’s not a local somehow cultivated his own cult in the space of 6 months

Not that im advocating it, moot point now hes gone too, but Miller played a few games on the wing for Cronulla

You’re right, funny enough he never played wing in nsw cup only 2 first grade games.
Doesn’t really strike me as a winger in terms of skill set though

Tbh if we’ve managed to get Miller off the books I’ll happily re-sign Jones. Couldn’t cost us nearly as much as paying Miller FG fullback money to play NSW Cup. Honestly we’ve gotten so lucky with this it’s unbelievable.

 

[mozza91]

Jones is a perfectly decent depth signing.

 

[Burwood]

Apparently Miller’s $500,000 salary cap savings is over 2 seasons. Hardly big money.

 

[ryan.a87]

also a good point by Toohey is that Klemmer will be off our books next year as well

 

[aqua_duck]

Not the biggest fan of Jones but if he’s player 28, 29 or 30 in your 30 man squad that’s fine.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Not the biggest Jones fan here either but to be fair, I wasn't the biggest Crossland fan earlier this year

I was hoping the three additions are competing for the 17, not at the end of the list. We still have improvements to make.

Better than nothing though considering he’d never play FG. There’s no doubt we’d be footing a bit of his UK contract. Would be helpful to upgrade the likes of Best and Gamble.

My fear is that we’ll use it to throw a bigger contract at Oates and this time next year when he’s injured we’ll be trying to get out of it.

Problem is there’s basically nobody available.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I know millers leaving but if he was still here, I wouldn't want him on the wing. He lacks too much pace imo.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Of all the attributes Miller lacks that would make him an unsuitable winger, pace isnt one of them

He's not "outside back" fast. Struggled to catch players and finish tries a few times in his short stint due to his lack of pace. He's fast around tired forwards in the middle, but would be in the bottom tier of outside backs I believe.

Miller has good acceleration but lacks actual speed. The game against the titans when he kicked the ball straight to David Fifita and Fifita ran 80m to score, he gave Fifita a 3m head start and Fifita actually ran away from him. Ponga literally came from the other side of the field and ran straight past Miller to attempt a tackle on Fifita right on the try line.

 

[Old dog]

Recall that very true but maybe he didn’t want to make the tackle
